Mitchell ‘s comeback has coincided with a new wave of interest in her work
During Joni Mitchell’s headlining performance last weekend at the picturesque Gorge Amphitheatre overlooking Washington State’s Columbia River, the Canadian singer-songwriter found herself momentarily confused by thousands of shining screens beaming down on her by the 27,000-strong audience.
This against-the-odds comeback has coincided with a new wave of interest in Mitchell’s work. It’s not just the musicians who have shared a stage with her over the decades who have found inspiration in her poetry, songwriting, visual art and activism in recent years, but also younger artists in a wide range of genres.
Perhaps it’s Mitchell’s unwillingness throughout her career to put herself in any one box when it comes to genres that has made her so embraced by a new generation. As Lucius’ Jess Wolfe puts it: “The fact that she could bridge the gap of this really intricate, dynamic, challenging music with easy-to-singalong to folk-pop songs, it was very inspiring.
While working on new music recently, the Juno-nominated singer-songwriter found herself in the same Laurel Canyon hills once frequented by Mitchell, leading her to research that era of the older musician’s creative output.
